Picked up a Model 14 no dash at auction today

[Model52guy]

Picked the 14 no dash at auction today. SN K366xxx which I assume to be 1959. It is a triple T’s except the grips are aftermarket. It is also SAO, with a very nice trigger. I assume these grips are probably Herretts? Anybody have a better guess as to the grip maker? BTW paid $650, thought it was a deal

Those look like Sanderson grips to me.

14 no dash

SAO, with a very nice trigger

A K target model in the K366000 range very likely shipped in early 1960.

Yours was possibly a special order SAO or it could have been converted later. Regular production of the K-38 Masterpiece SAO didn't start until the 14-2 range, in 1961.

Great revolver at a good price (IMO). Congratulations!!

That large number stamped inside the grips shouts Sanderson to me too. Nice buy.

I have a 14-3 that I picked up used. It is very accurate. Enjoy your new to you revolver! Bob

I love those Model 14s with a screw in front of the trigger guard, the "fourth screw".

What a gem. Edit to add "nice grips".

Herrett’s are nice grips but I thought the checkering and everything else about these are of higher quality. So I checked what others had to say. I like them, except I’m left handed. Minty 14-3s are commonly sold for $600 here in overpriced CA. So this older one with those grips are a good score.

Nice. I have its near twin in a pre-14 4-screw.

Yours is in very nice shape compared to my no dash with Sandersons. I like the target trigger and hammer.
